C’est super!

Il m’a aidé beaucoup à appendre les langues!

Get the true meaning

When I was in Japan, I asked a couple if they would like a picture together. The boy protectively grabbed his girlfriend and ran off. Without realizing it, I used the inclusive form of “together”- I asked them to take a picture with me!

If I had this, I wouldn’t have had that problem! Linguee gives you verified translations that help you find the matching nuances between the two languages. It surpasses dictionaries and gets you closer to asking a native speaker.

I can not recommend this enough.

Best, easiest translations tool I've used so far.

I am a professional interpreter and translator, and I can tell Linguee is coming up with better in context choices than other translating tools.

I teach Fundamental of Translation and Interpretation and, I not only use Linguee everyday, but I recommend it to all my students.
It’s very user friendly and I always tell them “you have to see the word in context”. Linguee does that.

best and deepest translation engine

The best and deepest translation engine I have ever used. It defines the word, sure, but it also pulls actual usage from real texts. This is extremely valuable for understanding words in proper contacts and in many different usages. I use it every day and my studies of German, usually multiple times a day. It has become a sensually for me. I highly recommend it to anyone studying or speaking German.

Linguee - handy im Handy!

This app and the original website are so useful, when it comes to looking up German words.
What I like in particular, is that you not only get to use it as a dictionary, but you also get to see varying uses of the words you look up in true context.
All that's lacking is a list of the most popular searches for the given day. I seem to remember that the website has that tool - if the app had that, then it would be 5* for me, no questions asked.

Really very good

This app has the usual headword definitions that you expect of any dictionary. It has, in fact, a particularly wide range. The unusual and strong feature is that it also finds the word in lots of online translations and presents both versions side by side so that you can see the word in context and take a view about usage. Obviously these online ussages are not guaranteed to be idiomatic or correct but they are at least presented so that the experienced user can evaluate them. The beginner can stick to the conventional dictionary function. The advanced user will find it very helpful to be able to examine words and phrases in context.

Great for translators and language learners

This app is a wonderful recourse for interpreters and translators, as we are continually expanding our professional vocabulary. Along with a very comprehensive dictionary, Linguee contains a database of actual translations of different terms and phrases so you can see in context which works best for whatever you’re working on. The ability to download the dictionaries also facilitates being able to use them at moments notice. I use it every day and if you work in the language industry or are studying a foreign language, you should too!

Awesome and easy to use!

I use it for all of my language studies and love it! It gives multiple word choices and examples of how to use each one. It also gives real life examples of the word you searched in actual documents, which can be extremely helpful! It’s super easy to use and has an offline option if you need to take it on the go. I definitely recommend it.

My favorite multi-lingual dictionary

Linguee is a must-have reference app for language learners! It is so easy to use my mom could do it. It offers many languages and it’s easy to switch between them; it even suggests a language if you have the wrong one selected. The example sentences are simple enough to help me understand the connotation of whichever word I’m looking up, and they introduce other new words. Often I can figure out those new words from the context. I love that it automatically looks up whatever is in my clipboard (eg from another app), especially while multitasking with Linguee beside a foreign language text on my iPad. The only thing I would add is verb conjugation. It’s still the best even without that! ¡Muchas gracias!

Favourite language app

I am currently studying for my A level French and this app is an absolute dream. It’s the absolute best tool I have for finding idioms and grammar structures for specific sentences. It makes it so easy to see how other people have written a sentence and to compare across sources for the most accurate translation. I also love that the phrase I request is given in context and the layout of the app is just great. I would (and do) recommend to any language learner.
